Go to the UK, all cars have windscreens there, and boots, and bonnets. But no trunks or hoods. Also, tyres but no tires. They stop when you apply the brake but not the break. They run on petrol but not on gas.

Yup and you walk on the pavement not the sidewalk, and the road is the bit you drive your car on. If you want to cross the road as a pedestrian, you find a zebra crossing, which are often helpfully marked by belisha beacons. Easy, really.

You're forgetting the other meaning of screen, which is a solid piece of furniture used as a partition. Also, in basketball if your screens let players through, you'll be sitting on the bench until you learn to keep them out.

In the US a screen is a grid like device used to separate large things from small things. In windows, screens allow air to pass through while insects, pets, wildlife, etc are kept either inside or outside as appropriate. In archaeology and industry, screens are used to separate large particles from small particles. A shield on the other hand, stops the movement or attempts to stop the movement of everything from one side of it to the other.

Hey guise let's up vote him. Why would a post correcting one of the items have 5x the votes as the one that tells us these cool things about the UK? I thought the Reddit voting system is supposed to filter quality content. Not that this is particularly special, I'm just ranting because I feel like Reddit could be better.

But no worries, I found a few great recipe ideas for you. Here's a pretty basic method for boiling:

Put the head into boiling water, and let it remain by the side of the fire for 3 or 4 minutes; take it out, hold it by the ear, and with the back of a knife, scrape off the hair (should it not come off easily, dip the head again into boiling water). When perfectly clean, take the eyes out, cut off the ears, and remove the brain, which soak for an hour in warm water. Put the head into hot water to soak for a few minutes, to make it look white, and then have ready a stewpan, into which lay the head; cover it with cold water, and bring it gradually to boil. Remove the scum, and add a little salt, which assists to throw it up. Simmer it very gently from 2 1/2 to 3 hours, and when nearly done, boil the brains for 1/4 hour; skin and chop them, not too finely, and add a tablespoonful of minced parsley which has been previously scalded. Season with pepper and salt, and stir the brains, parsley, etc., into about 4 tablespoonfuls of melted butter; add the lemon-juice and cayenne, and keep these hot by the side of the fire. Take up the head, cut out the tongue, skin it, put it on a small dish with the brains round it; sprinkle over the head a few bread crumbs mixed with a little minced parsley; brown these before the fire, and serve with a tureen of parsley and butter, and either boiled bacon, ham, or pickled pork as an accompaniment.

True story from college involving a similar incident. My friends and I rented the basement apartment decades ago. A few months into the lease, we realized the apartment upstairs was inhabited by drug dealers...they were nice, kept to themselves. Their secret would have remained except...

Derp, a non-dealer resident of the upstairs, was smitten by a strawberry (trades sex for drugs). She was "seeing" another dealer that was in the same network.

Thinking he was "saving her life", Derp decided to report the dealer to the police. Bad move. The guy was so well connected that, not only did he get a warning call before vice showed up, he found out who it was.

A few nights later we're all awakened by firetrucks. Someone had taken an entire deer, crucified it on a cross of 4x4s, doused in in gas, lit it on fire, then threw the whole thing on the hood of Derp's car.

Here's the kicker. A few weeks later I saw Derp talking nervously to a dude who had been my summer roommate in the dorms a year ago. Turns out THAT WAS THE DRUG DEALER he had narced on....I had no clue about either situation (him as a dealer or that he was the one terrorizing my upstairs neighbor) so I just walked up to them, interrupted the dealer/derp conversation, gave dealer a bro hug, and went about my way.

Moments later, Derp confronted me and nervously asked me how I knew Dealer...that's when he spilled the whole story and all the dots connected for me.

Putting the NSFW in the imgur title doesn't exactly put it on Reddit's. But seriously. I am wondering if people even remember what NSFW means? No, it doesn't mean porn and so don't click it. IT is a tag for anything that may remotely draw attention to yourself at work. I have seen pictures of chicks with little clothing on and other slightly gorish and innapropriate pictures that should have gotten the tags.

what the fuck is a mate? what the fuck is a windscreen? why the fuck is your car fucked up with the steering ring on the wrong side? and what the fuck is up with the big'ole'bug on there...just wipe it off!!!
